Uranium prices steady as EIA releases annual market report
The end-of-July spot price for uranium was $86.36 per pound, as reported by Cameco—roughly the same as it has been since February. Analytics firm Trading Economics reported a uranium futures price of $86.60 per pound, a figure that also has been holding steady since early April.
These updates come as the U.S. Energy Information Administration has released its 2025 Uranium Marketing Annual Report, which examines in detail multiple aspects of the U.S. uranium market. Data are derived from answers given in the Uranium Marketing Annual Survey, which collects information on contracts, deliveries (during the past year and projected for the next 10 years), purchased enrichment services, inventories, fuel assembly usage, and market requirements.

In order to investigate the applicability of a thermophoresis dust removal system for fusion plasma devices, the exact estimation of the thermophoretic force acting on discrete dust particle is required. In order to make up for the lack of experimental data, the thermophoretic force acting on a fine spherical particle suspended between the two parallel plates has been measured. In all conventional analyses, it is assumed that the particle is placed and stands still at the center of the confined plates. When the particle is positioned at the center of the plates, the experimental data agrees with the conventional analysis as the asymptotic behavior. On the other hand, when the particle is deviated from the center of the plates, the experimental data shows the different behavior from the analytical formula.
